MBT (Second Edition)

About this board game

MBT (Second Edition) is a two-player modern mechanized combat game with a 360-minute play time, modeling US 7th Army and GSFG and CGF Soviet forces in 1987.

Command individual vehicles, infantry squads, half squads, and sections across geomorphic maps where each hex represents 100 meters. US M1 Abrams, M2A1 Bradleys, M60A3s, and M113A2s face Soviet T-80s, T-72s, T-64s, BMPs, BTRs, and other armored vehicles.

The rules cover a broad range of modern battlefield capabilities, including ATGMs, special armor such as ERA, advanced night fighting with thermal imaging and image intensifiers, and artillery using ICM and laser-guided shells. Mechanized infantry weapons include M47 Dragon, M72 LAW, AT-7 Saxon, AT-4 Spigot, and multiple RPG versions.

• US and Soviet artillery, armor, infantry carriers, engineering vehicles, and air-defense units
• Helicopters such as the AH-64A Apache and Mi-24P Hind-F
• Attack aircraft including the A-10A Warthog and Su-25 Frogfoot
• Gun- and missile-armed anti-aircraft units

MBT (Second Edition) includes Basic and Advanced rulebooks, a playbook, data cards, game cards, player aids, dice, six counter sheets, and five double-sided geomorphic map boards. Published expansions include MBT: BAOR, MBT: FRG, and MBT: 4CMBG.
